In this paper we consider the steepest descent $H^{-1}$-gradient flow of the length functional for immersed plane curves, known as the curve diffusion flow. It is known that under this flow there exist both initially immersed curves which…
We show short-time existence for curves driven by curve diffusion flow with a prescribed contact angle $\alpha \in (0, \pi)$: The evolving curve has free boundary points, which are supported on a line and it satisfies a no-flux condition.…
We show that small energy curves under a particular sixth order curvature flow with generalised Neumann boundary conditions between parallel lines converge exponentially in the smooth topology in infinite time to straight lines.
We study the area preserving curve shortening flow with Neumann free boundary conditions outside of a convex domain in the Euclidean plane. Under certain conditions on the initial curve the flow does not develop any singularity, and it…
We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces in $\R^{3}$ and $\R^4$ evolving by a class of constrained surface diffusion flows. Our result, similar to earlier results for the Willmore flow, gives both a positive lower bound on the time for…
In this paper we establish a general form of the isoperimetric inequality for immersed closed curves (possibly non-convex) in the plane under rotational symmetry. As an application we obtain a global existence result for the surface…
We consider a mean curvature flow in a cone, that is, a hypersurface in a cone which moves toward the opening with normal velocity equaling to the mean curvature, and the contact angle between the hypersurface and the cone boundary being…
We consider a fourth-order regularization of the curvature flow for an immersed plane curve with fixed boundary, using an elastica-type functional depending on a small positive parameter $\varepsilon$. We show that the approximating flow…
We introduce and study a one-parameter family of curve diffusion flows with a scale-critical cubic curvature term for closed immersed planar curves. We first classify all closed stationary solutions, showing that they are precisely circles…
We consider a family of axisymmetric curves evolving by its mean curvature with driving force in the half space. We impose a boundary condition that the curves are perpendicular to the boundary for $t>0$, however, the initial curve…
We present the necessary and sufficient conditions of the well-posedness of the initial value problem for certain fourth-order linear dispersive systems on the one-dimensional torus. This system is related with a dispersive flow for closed…
We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces evolving by surface diffusion flow, and perform an analysis based on local and global integral estimates. First we show that a properly immersed stationary (\Delta H \equiv 0) hypersurface in \R^3…
In this paper we introduce two $1/\kappa^{n}$-type ($n\ge1$) curvature flows for closed convex planar curves. Along the flows the length of the curve is decreasing while the enclosed area is increasing. And finally, the evolving curves…
Several non-local curvature flows for plane curves with a general rotation number are discussed in this work. The types of flows include the area-preserving flow and the length-preserving flow. We have a relatively good understanding of…
In this paper we study the curvature flow of a curve in a plane endowed with a minkowskian norm whose unit ball is smooth. We show that many of the properties known in the euclidean case can be extended (with due adaptations) to this new…
In this article we study Chen's flow of curves from theoreical and numerical perspectives. We investigate two settings: that of closed immersed $\omega$-circles, and immersed lines satisfying a cocompactness condition. In each of the…
We consider the fractional mean curvature flow of entire Lipschitz graphs. We provide regularity results, and we study the long time asymptotics of the flow. In particular we show that in a suitable rescaled framework, if the initial graph…
